Hey, you! Yeah YOU!
How come you haven't registered? Have you read about our new blue star program? We are donating $10 of each blue star subscription to the Blue Ribbon Coalition to ensure that we will have trails to recreate on for years to come.
Our blue star comes with all the benefits of a red star such as 10 second searching, blue/red star member only giveaways, access to the private blue/red star member forums, etc.

Is there a plan to get 8 back open? Could volunteers go in and fix them, or would they have to be done to the same specs as the other bridges? I might contact the FS and ask what can be done to get the 8 loop back open

From what I have seen the bridges need to be torn down and completely rebuilt.

They would have to be torn down and rebuilt. And the FS has estimates to do the work, but of course, they are over engineering them and it's going to cost way too much. The bridges and repairs will be part of the proposal they are supposed to be coming out with after the first of the year.

Steve Lohr made mention at the open house about logging in the future. This could be one reason they are overengineering the bridges. I personally am all for logging. That's where most of the trails a t Tellico came from. If they start loggin there in the future I want to see how they deal with sedimentation.

The only problem with logging is that it will be a decade before you get to ride any trails at Tellico. And when you get to visit again, it will look more like a moonscape instead of the beautiful slice of Appalachia we all know and love.

Funny enough, you probably will not hear a peep out of anyone about the sediment in the river. Logging generates tons more revenue that the ORV.
